Thumbs Up

Great road car; eats up miles at speed comfortably. Controls fall readily to hand. Power, braking, suspension, poise all quite good.
Buy it again? Probably, but I pine for the V series. No such thing as too much horsepower. Just need more $$$.

Luxury Sedan that can perform like a sports car

I love my Cadillac CTS V-Sport. Driving to work or out on the highway it is quiet, smooth and comfortable. It has more features that I will ever use. I have gotten spoiled by all of the automatic features. But the car has a hidden side - when you nail the accelerator or turn quickly through a corner you find a performance car. Gas mileage has also been good - I get better than the EPA sticker values. On a recent trip averaging 75mph I got over 24mpg on the freeway, while having my 420HP available for quick passing as needed. In town I get about 18mpg.

Great performance Sedan for the money if you can pay for the maintaince!

I love my Caddy! It handles like a corvette corners like mad and will put your head back on acceleration all the way to 150mph. If you can find this rare car with under 50k miles it is affordable now and should give you many years of driving fun ( if you can afford thee maintaince. ...) I still get compliments every time I take it out and its 10 years old!
